Essex

Not bored with constantly winning but must say watched matches at Wimborne Road and it has been not all but some with not much passing so surely if you are seeing something which I assume that you are alluding to home meetings being gate and go why dont the visiting team riders set up their bikes to counteract this if you see it why don't they ? but I suppose I would ask who tells the track curator what surface to prepare ie in cricket green top etc

Just for clarity and your statement implies you have your opinion of Poole speedway if this was the case and you are saying this is why they win a lot of trophies why dont all the promoters follow your lead then other teams of what you believe is true would be very successful who is your team ? you don't say on your name.Speedway is a yearly competition what changes every year good or bad teams are built to entertain and make all involved a living.Poole along with others just run a team each year and if other teams or people run an NDL team good for them it's up to whatever level people spend their money so if some teams just take a rider from a junior side that's what they do,vultures will always there not just Poole but maybe they know which carrion to plunder.

Nor am I ,I said somewhere on here earlier in the year about Starke being not good enough anymore and was shot down so unless he has new rockets for engines he is not going to improve much at all letting Foord go seems ridiculous now but I don't run Poole speedway just a fan and I have always thought the Ford's get team building right mostly but this signing well let's wait and see

Big boys come calling you don't say no as good chance of being in a winning team

A stadium inferior to Poole,a track maybe better than Poole,a promotion clearly no where near as good as Poole ( trophies titles ) and supporters who turn up in more numbers at Poole, why have a go at Poole, don't label all Poole supporters with the same brush as I have no axe to grind with any club supporters and I have said before I wish all teams were the same would make all matches closer.Why can't your team attract better riders the Italian bloke is no no1 and Barker is no no 5 is it down to money or location you seem pretty knowledgeable why are Plymouth never challenging for trophies ?

When you sign for Poole you improve well most do look what it done for Brennan although I know little about Kerr but the Ford's don't get much wrong so expect him to be an excellent signing he must over the moon to be given this opportunity and be in the same side as his mate

Couple of questions for the in the know people on here,who is cairns I don't follow Junior speedway and how do the contributors on here know who's signing/I know the team for next season ? Do the promoters leak things on purpose or do people actually know and don't keep it to themselves.As for Poole next season hopefully not Starke over Foord obvious reason and I'm sure the Ford's will pull a rabbit out the hat like Thomson this year.

This might be a silly question but do guest's get more ? Or do they earn the same per point as the rider they replace must say never thought about it before your post.

Think he got his 9 upside down,this chap gets a bit of stick on here probably a bit more coming after this post

Missed out the think

Didn't he get a lot of negative comments by some when he was signed,don't he done to badly as Poole have won all 3 trophies well almost

You can only race against the riders in the opposition be it 1-7 or guests not the fault of Poole if opposition are not at full strength.Another top Poole team that will be disbanded to be rebuilt by the Ford's pity we can't rejoin the top league add the Holders,Kurtz and Janowski or a permutation of and we wouldn't do to badly but probably a pipe dream,still we've still got a team well next season at least.

And they couldn't Brennan must be one of the signings of the season made a massive impact at Poole

Please don't brand all Poole fans with the same brush there's nothing weird about me mate,I expect Poole to always do well as the Ford's always well nearly always build excellent teams and based on that expect them to win more than they lose but as in tonight and other occasions Poole were second best Oxford were the better team no question and it makes the second leg more exciting.As I have said before it's a shame other teams don't have promoters like the Ford's and I'm not smoke blowing but they are successful so you tell me and your quite knowledgeable why can't other promoters build winning teams is it down to money,contacts,or is it Poole are just the team the good riders want to ride for.Don't know how long people on here have been going to speedway but the days of 41-37, 40-38 are long gone so are many many teams what a shame, how you used to look forward to every week seeing riders like Ivan Mauger,Peter Collins,Ole Olsen the list goes on.

Not having a go at any riders j2ohn just a personal assessment.Paul has been an excellent servant as is Kyle I just don't see them being signed by the Ford's but as you say top riders in the top league and we are getting on a bit gone are the days of watching Briggs,Mauger,Super Simmo etc

Hope not,Starke definitely not he's not going to improve is he bit of a journeyman very inconsistent and Howarth again he's not getting any better but as I have said before when you ride for Poole !!!!!!!! look at Brennan is it his best season ever ? yes had a couple of San Miguel but nothing controversial there.

I suppose it was never in doubt after the first leg when the oppo turn up with only 6 riders and jake Allen has only one bike and 3 riders share one mechanic

Very strange as there must have been other riders far better than Boughen who could have guested maybe the team manager will explain as he was never going to be a match winner

And so Poole should as they are the rules, any team would want the second leg at their home track as if they win the celebrations would be good for the home team what is wrong with that ? As for all the nonsense talking of Poole do this or that just accept Poole as well as being a lovely place have had and still do have winning promoters, any court cases of corrupt practices no well not that I know of just people secretly although they won't admit it but wishing they had the success Poole have had all be it they are well supported which helps with the finance to find success.

Back to the title of this discussion next season will surely the signing of this season Tom Brennan be back at Poole, at any other team with his average he would be No 1 but we can't fit the Cooks and Tom in the team next year with already signed Lawson unless we do what the Ford's don't want and go up.May be biased but riding at Poole every week has certainly made Tom and maybe Zach Cook better riders ?

I'm sure many teams have instructed riders to finish in certain positions so a tac sub could be used in the next race, cheating well it may or may not be but certainly not exclusive to one particular team and has been going on for years.

It may as well be Japanese as I didn't I understand a word of it

I used to go to Hackney whenever Poole were riding and their car park was always free probably it was the norm at that time so and never been to Berwick just wondering why is it free when they could make a bit of money from it however it's excellent, unlike Poole who charge assume they don't own the car park.

Mike was there no guest available ?
